Yet at the same time Microsoft expects "the world" to accept mail from their customers. Neither Microsoft nor their customers pay "the world" a cent. Mail works because operators of mail system accept mail from each other in the general case, spam rejection notwithstanding, well knowing that there is no direct economic incentive in doing so. Part of the implicit duties of operating a mail service is to accept abuse reports when one of your customers spams, and take effective action against it, and on the other hand to accept reports when your own spam-rejecting mechanisms generate false positives, and adjust them accordingly. If big operators such as Microsoft, Google, IONOS, etc. feel they can get away with doing neither of these because of their "importance", something is severely broken.
